I found myself earlier today after Fajr watching my wife Priya in a deep sleep that broke itself whenever a sound was made from beyond our bedroom door, her thoughts instinctively bringing her attention to our son and daughter and getting up to see if they were ok. (Thread)

Visited the grave of our little brother Wadee in chicago today. He was just 6 years old and murdered in his home by his family’s landlord in a hate crime some weeks ago - stabbed 26 times for being Palestinian and Muslim. No words to express what the heart feels right now💔💔💔

56 Shia Muslims were murdered today during jummah prayers in the city of Peshawar. If your first thought is to do anything other than say a prayer for them, their families and loved ones, then your heart is not in the right place and you should get it to where it needs to be.

Growing up, my understanding of God was always tainted by a negative framing. Through Sunday schools and Friday sermons, I learned that God was watching me, but only later on in life I understood that God was watching over me -- two very different things.

My understanding of God has begun to be shaped more by how He describes Himself.
In a hadith qudsi, God says "I am as My servant thinks I am." Do you conceptualize God as being the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy, even more merciful than a mother is to her child?

As being the Most Gentle and the Most Compassionate? Or do you see Him as an angry, old man looking for a reason to punish? It's an important question because how you conceptualize God will dictate so many things in your life.
